Get the memo. This wasn't a racially motivated incident no matter how desperately people tried to make you think it was.

It won't do any good to point that out. This will be yet another "white people are evil" thread, a FARK specialty.

While you may not agree on it being racially motivated, he still killed the guy and claimed it to be "God's will" to happen despite apologizing before that and wishing he would have done it differently.

Fart_Machine:So you're saying that a suspension from school is the same as a criminal conviction?

No, but getting shot by someone after pinning them to the ground and wailing on them is. Better than a conviction, in fact.

A conviction can be gained by methods devious and false. A cunning lawyer can play a jury like a fiddle and any decision they reach is suspect and thus appeals exist.

Trayvon Martin somehow got a licensed gun owner with no previous record of racial bias onto a sidewalk and was bashing his head off something hard enough to cause injury. He was then shot by said gun owner. It wasn't bad luck or tragedy that befell him, it was his own damn fault.

For which the only evidence we have is that Martin was stalked by the guy in a truck, who then left his vehicle to go after Martin and that's as far as we know what happened. Who attacked first is still unclear since there were no witnesses who saw the entire attack. Granted since you apparently have seen the entire crime then you should submit your evidence to the court posthaste.

apparently it was his own damn fault to be confronted while minding his own business, walking as a black person with a hoodie to his father's house, by a neighborhood hot-headed vigilante brandishing a loaded gun, convinced his mark was up to no good.

clearly trayvon's fault

The injuries to Zimmerman are clearly from someone attacked from behind

clearly trayvon's fault to defend himself against an armed man who approached him at night out of the blue, looking for a confrontation

"If a young man walks by wearing a sweatshirt with a hood tight around the chin, face somewhat concealed and hands tucked inside the pouch pockets, what comes to mind?"

In Florida? Where it's 92 degrees during the day and 85 at night for most of the year? Yeah, anyone with a thick cotton hoodie pulled around their upper body and head is not doing it for comfort or casual wear. You insanely naive coonts.

I picture these two as Stuart Smalley types, complete with lisp and prissy hand gestures.

Martin attacked from behind after Zimmerman was walking away

so was your first mention of being attacked from behind sarcastic or not? now you assert he was indeed attacked from behind. well this is clear as mud.

and i'm sure the sole survivor account of zimmerman is entirely accurate and there's no cya-ing going on at all.

zimmerman has always been the victim all along, attacked out of the blue and from behind from a hoodie-clad thug! the poor thing.

newsflash: florida actually has seasons too and surprise, it's quite a bit cooler than 85 at night in orlando in february.

And I said "most of the year". And um, I'm not an insanely derpy coont. If you could work your way up to a grownup mentality and vocabulary people might address you as such. Try it sometime. If you post inane derp with childish insults, like you have been, then expect that to be how people talk to you.

Yeeeah. You picked the wrong photo. There are a few of Trayvon flipping the bird, but this isn't a picture of him. It's actually another guy. This was the photo that first started on a white supremacist site, so whoops! I know. They all look alike, right?!
